z-ADC, ADC map derived from zoomed field-of view (FOV) diffusion-weighted imaging and all the available b-values (b = 50, 1,000, and 1,500 s/mm2); s-ADCb50, ADC map synthesized using our proposed deep learning framework with input from full FOV diffusion-weighted imaging (f-DWI) (b = 50 s/mm2); s-ADCb1000, ADC map synthesized using our proposed deep learning framework with input from f-DWI (b = 1,000 s/mm2); s-ADCb1500, ADC map synthesized using our proposed deep learning framework with input from f-DWI (b = 1500 s/mm2).
